Anderson quick edge pressure versus LT McKinnie may have saved a 2nd quarter TD, Smith ran by S Chung on deep in and go route and was wide open – Anderson forced Flacco to step up, NT Love drove RG Yanda into Flacco and Flacco could not step into the throw

3-2-6 was Belichick’s predominant sub-package in the 1st half; Fletcher and Mayo were the LB, Ihedigbo and Edelman were the inside slot players

Arrington injured in the 2nd quarter, Moore replaced him at corner in the base 3-4

With Arrington out, Molden and Moore were the outside corners in the nickel sub-package

In the 2nd half the Patriots at times showed a different dime sub-package: Ninkovich was wild card as hybrid LB/DE and Mayo was only LB, Again Ihedigbo and Edelman inside in the slot

Warren has given the Patriots some excellent snaps at DE in the 3-4, Played well the last couple of games

Ihedigbo sack on 3rd + 8 in the red zone in the 3rd quarter came off “cover zero blitz” out of dime

Arrington came back in the 4th quarter

Ravens chipped away with the run game, Had success in the 2nd half; 5, 6, 7 yd runs

Spikes interception was great play recognition, Ravens OL stood up to pass protect so Spikes read pass not run – Flacco clearly anticipated the backfield run action would hold Spikes and quick seam throw to Dickson would be there

Wilfork played an outstanding game, He was very tough to block as a run defender and an inside pass rusher

Patriots played dime on the Ravens final drive; Moore and Arrington were the outside corners, Edelman and Chung were the inside defenders with McCourty and Ihedigbo deep

Patriots a lot of “2 man” on Ravens final drive, with Edelman matched on Boldin

Boldin 29 yds on final drive came out of tight bunch, Edelman played the release and Arrington matched up to his man – Both played Smith and Boldin was left free

Flacco big time throw to Evans on final drive, Can’t throw it any better – Evans dropped the game winner

Flacco was excellent in this game, A number of outstanding throws in critical situations, A great 2:00 drive that should have given the Ravens the victory – Flacco deserved to win
